bspline function

Main Forum
#1

Hello everyone, I´m programming in ANSYS APDL and I want to make a parametric analysis.

Because I need to join a lot of points with the bspline function I can´t make this

FLST,3,10,3

FITEM,3,1
FITEM,3,-10

BSPLIN, ,P51X

I need to write in my program all the points

FLST,3,10,3

FITEM,3,1
FITEM,3,2
FITEM,3,3
FITEM,3,4
FITEM,3,5
FITEM,3,6
FITEM,3,7
FITEM,3,8
FITEM,3,9
FITEM,3,10

BSPLIN, ,P51X

The problem here is because this is a parametric study, in another case the points I´ll need to join can be different and with the previous problem it can not be done.

Anyone know how can i solve this problem??

Another question i have, is there a function or command that give me the

total number o KP, lines, elements, etc???

Thanks and have a great day!!

Hi Rafael,

This is generally an AMS support forum - check the thread title, but you should make your selection procedure automated. When you say parametric - does your geometry change? If not you could define search for the closest node by using APDL command node(x,y,z). Otherwise it is more complex, but the solution will be somewhat similar.

Pavel
